A Boston jury has decided that cigars are
a drug. In that city druggist was ar
rested for violating the Sunday law by SELL
ing cigars, and in the trial his attorney
claimed that cigars came within the section
of the law relating to drugs and medicines.
The jury decided that the attorney was
right, aud Boston druggists are rejoicing.

The opening Tuesday Of the new Cancer
Hospital in New York adds another to the
list of public institutions erected in that
city by citizens of wealth. This last charity
is due to the munificence of Gen. Cullom
and Mr.. and Mrs. John Jacob Astor. 1t
seems that New York millionaires are giving
the city every imaginable institution that
will conduce to the pleasure or health of the
public They are greatly to be commended,
and yet it is not to be expected that they
win carry their wealth with them to another
world, and it is just as well that they use it
here for good purposes.

CURRENT COMMENT.
But Nobody Believes Them.


To believe Republican arguments against tar
if reform, one would be compelled TO believe
that the Democratic party, which owes its
strength to the vote s of workingmen TO greater
extent than any other party in this country ever
did, is an organization whose chief aim is the
destruction of our industries and the consequent
breaking down of wages.

From the Netc York HereId Ind.
We question if it should be a matter for con-
graduation that our postal service is set-sus-
tanning until we have penny postage. Every
advance that has been made toward cheap post
age has proved in the result pecuniary gain to

country would not grudge the spending few

Miss Eleanor Calhoun, the beautiful
actress, must be quite fascinating woman.
A couple of years ago it was said that she
was about to be married to Mr.. Frederick
Winston, who at that time had Just been
appointed Minister to Russia. She failed to
marry Mr. Winston for some reason
or other and soon afterward her en-
gagement to Senator Hearsts sen
was announced. Young Hearst's
parents objected to the match, and again
Miss Calhoun was free woman. Now it
seems she has made up with her first love,
and if there are no more mishaps she will
soon be Mrs. Winston.

Senator ingalls, is trying to earn the title
of the great surplus distributor" He
doesn't want the revenues reduced for two
reasons. First, because the people do not
feel the taxes they now pay, and, second,
because ways can be found to use all the
surplus which there is at present or may be
in the future.
He thinks that the government should
establish a great big training shool for
teachers, and should not only bear all their
expenses while they are being educated, but
should send them, like missionaries, to those
parts of the country where ignorance is so
dense that the people do not appreciate
teachers, and should support them while
they are letting the light of intelligence
into darkful minds.
The Senator would build big gun factories
and manufacture guns enough to guard
every approach to our shores. The fact
that there is committee of eminent for
eigners in this country trying to arrange
for the settlement of all international dis
putes by arbitration doesn't seem to have
made any impression upon him.
He would set masons and carpenters at
work constructing, in towns in which they
are needed, post Office buildings and court
houses. He does not believe the government
ought to hire buildings when it has the
money to build them and he thinks it ought
to do business on its own premises.
The Senator could certainly distribute all
the surplus in the Treasury very quickly,
and all there is likely to be there for some
time to come if he were given an oppor-
tunity. The probabilities are, however,
that before educating teachers, or manufac-
turing guns, or erecting public buildings he
would give a pension to all the men who
enlisted in the Union armies, who are living
and to the families of those who are dead
Having done that he would have no further
occasion to bother about the surplus. There
would be none. All things considered it is
probably the wiser plan to get rid of the
surplus by reducing the taxes

Sympathy in Dogs aud Cats.

A favorlte Pomeranian dog was

while his owner tenderly ba,hed the in
famed eyes, "Blackie," the sleek tom
cat, always sat by with a kindly look
of pity in his luminous green eye. When
"Laddie," the blind dog was called in
at night. he often failed to find the
door, or would strike his venerable
head against the posts. "Blackie."
having noticed this difficulty, would
jump off his warm cushion by the
kitchen fire, trot out with a ''mew"
into the dark night, and in a few
minutes return with "Laddie'shoulder
to shoulder, as it were, aud the friends
would then separate for the night.
s'Laddie,n when younger, had quietly
resented the attentions shown by his
owner to a fascinating kitten, who used
to frolic with his long. fringed tail; but
he was too noble to show active dis.
like. When the kitten died in convul-
sions-a victim to nerves and a ball OF
cotton-and its owner bent over the
stiffened form in grief, "Laddie" came
gravely up and kissed 1t. He followed
1t to the grave, and for many days was
seen by his mistress to go up the garden
and sit upon the sod. Wa that his

The past year has been a notable
one as regards fruit, being the first
year that farmers brought wagon
loads of apples to the city, from their
orchards. Thousands of bushels OF
apples were raised in this county last
year. Many of the orchards had
hundreds of bushels of fruit. Beside
apples, there are raised successfully,
pears, plums, cherries, Strawberries,
cranberries, currants, crab apples,
black berries, raspberries, wheat, oats,
peas, corn. buckwheat, potatoes. tur-
nips, beets, cabbage, cauliflower, on
ions, raddish, tomatoes, carrots, etc.
Among the exports last year were
several thousand pounds of wool,
about half million cedar posts, rail-
way ties. telegraph poles, and trap net
stakes; also, lime, venison, match
timber. potatoes, and several hundred
tons Of fish.
The country back Of the city is Of
good character for agricultural pur-
poses, and the increase every year in
the farming regions is by no mean
small. And for new county, Alpe-
ma county to-day contains some of the
best and most productive farms in the
State, and the prospects for a steady
and healthful growth in the way of
farming, is Of the most encouraging
nature. There are thousands of acres
of land yet in this county-first elias
